Kindred

She's the first and the last thing on my mind
Everyday she blows me away
Her smile and the darkness in her eyes
Keep the light at bay
No man can lure her into games
She'd never play
She stops at nothing
When she's determined
To have it her way

She takes the back roads
To avoid all prying eyes
She's find a new way home
It's never the same one twice
She thinks of when the grass was green
And her eyes were blue
She thinks of all the things
That she wished
She never knew

She says:
Sometimes I've got all these questions on my mind
It seems like everyone can see but I am blind

She's the one and only by my side
She's the one that leads the way
She's the one that takes me by the hand
And looks past my disarray
She never passes judgment
Or descends on my mistakes
She's always in support
Of all the choices I make

Sometimes I've got
All these questions on my mind
It seems like everyone can see
But I am blind
Sometimes I've got
All these weird thoughts in my head
I just can't sleep without
A gun beside my bed
So how's that joke again?
The one that makes me smile?
The one about humanity,
Of treachery and guile
The way people live their lives
Is a path I truly dread
I hate the living
So let's hang out with the dead

She's the one and only by my side
She's the one that leads the way
She's the one that takes me by the hand
And keeps the light at bay
